Sexy plane. It has its flaws, sure. I'm not gonna call it perfect— I'd rather fly in an F-22 or a trusty 16, but man, the F-35 is a good plane, even if it's a step back from the 22.

Man, I know the feeling of a landing like that, but I never really thought about lasers causing it. I guess it's because the most I've been blinded with was a red dot sight, but I couldn't imagine being blinded by that when I'm flying in an F-16.

Ahh, okay, makes sense. Sorry about that confusion. Thanks for clearing it up though.

I've seen a lot of articles about planes and lasers, haha.

Well that makes sense.

But.. What about the whole "don't shine lasers at airplanes" thing? Even a green laser pointer is apparently dangerous?

We've had all these post and dangers about people shining lasers at planes.

Couldn't the lasers damage the planes?

I had an LED bowtie, but it had died a few days before that sadly!

It was stealthier and faster, but it wasn't nearly as agile. It could be debated which was better, but ah well. Both are fantastic planes.

By the way, the lines were all sorts of messed up in the picture from the angles and day wear, it doesn't look that bad in real life!

Here's a picture of the homemade LED tux I made a while ago, same concept.

The point was that Obi-wan are the taxpayers who are underestimating the F-22, and that the taxpayers try to kill the program without understanding how powerful it truly was.

T-50 PAK FAs will be sent to other countries just like the Su-25 nowadays. Once North Korea and Iran have PAK FAs, I sure want this thing going against them.

I gotcha man.

Nice to hear from someone behind these beauties!

However, even with those advanced radar, the F-22 is recorded to have one almost 20x the power of the JAS— when you include that with a smaller cross section and thus lower intercept probability, you see that the F-22 would still see a massive advantage over the JAS.

Do I sound like someone who doesn't know that?

I throw "dogfight" as my typical air engagement term— my mistake, haha.
